Helicopter Partners

We are very proud of our association with current and historic institutional partners. Both Hong Kong Government Flying Service (HKGFS) and China Rescue and Salvage Bureau (CRS) are paramilitary helicopter operators who specialise in saving the lives of the people of Hong Kong and China.

We offer a wide range of training programs and our geographical location allows us easy access to the ocean, mountains and the city, which is the ideal blended environment to prepare candidates for all types of humanitarian operations.

Training Helicopters

Schweizer 300 CBi

Single Engine Piston – Schweizer 300 CBi

We currently operate a fleet of four Schweizer 300CBi helicopters with identical cockpit layout. The CBi 300’s responsive handling characteristics provide pilots with smooth, vibration-free stick forces, which facilitate learning and replicate a big helicopter feel. The cyclic control and collective harmony makes the 300CBi a true pleasure to fly and an ideal foundation to advance onto larger helicopters.
